Macroeconomic context

Cyclical: depends on manufacturing PMI, infrastructure investment and defence spending. Sensitive to energy prices and supply chains. As a US company, its valuation depends on the Fed, 10-year Treasury yields and the US earnings cycle.

How the score is calculated

The score combines profitability (ROE, ROA, net margin), growth (revenue and earnings), valuation (P/E, EV/EBITDA, free cash flow), financial strength (debt and liquidity; not applied to banks and insurers) and momentum (6 and 12-month returns and trend). It is an educational quantitative filter, not a buy or sell recommendation.
